there’s been a lot of reading in 5053 about Truth. the consensus is that there is none. everything we know is a construct that is relative and contextualized. Every society functions according to its agreed set of truths.
until just today, most of us thought (or should that be “consensed?” is consensed a word? it is now. I proclaim the verb “to consense” now exists) that the moon was a dry rock. No hope of life, mainly because there was no water. How thrilling to find something new, about something that was assumed to be true for so long. Guess they will be re-writing a lot of science books this year.
time to go start that final paper for 5053.
Control Plus! November 1, 2009

While going through websites for health and service information, I found out that “control +” enlarges the information on the screen while “control -” makes it smaller. It seems to work for all webpages. Maybe ya’ll knew this, but I didn’t! I had a senior citizen (about my age) in the library last week. We were laughing that even with our biggest bifocal glasses we were having a hard time with most of the print in websites. “Control +” would have been a real help– if only I’d known!
Kudos to the Social Security Adminstration website for putting information about this helpful function on their webpage. Boo to the Medicare webpage for NOT putting this in big, bold print. and Thank You Dr. Van Fleet for these seven tedious, time consuming exercises that have been so useful in so many ways.
